Just wanted to say howdy.
I learned to BBQ from a friend about 15 years ago, using a Brinkmann All-in-One water smoker for about eight years. Got tired of the massive fuel consumption, poor insulation, cleaning out the ashes several times during a butt or brisket cook, etc. Stepped up to a ceramic cooker, which I enjoyed for the miserly fuel use, great insulation, long cooking times, and flexibility wrt temperature and direct/indirect option. Unfortunately that cooker is falling apart, and I desired more cooking space (area and volume) and a little less fiddling during a smoking session.
I ended up looking at pellet cookers. With BBQ season fully upon us I began to get serious about the search, and when a friend whose opinion I trust ordered a Memphis Pro, I kicked it into high gear. To wrap it up, after ultra-speedy and great pre-sale support from Jessie at Big Poppa Smokers, I have a Memphis Advantage on order (accessories shipped yesterday). Can't wait to get started!
P.S. I gather y'all like photos, so I created a photo album here and uploaded a few. I hope I did it right.
